IMPROVEMENT 1N sUTTER-FASTENERS.

The Schedn-le referred to in these Letters PatentV and-making part ofthe same.

`Be it known that I, JOHN NV. KING, of the city, 'l

lo hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will .enable others skilled in the `art tomake and use the. same, reference of thi`speoicat1`on. y i gTheinvention relates to blind or shutter-fasteners,

be specified inthe claim. Y

In the accompanying drawing Figure 2` represent a horizontal section oi'the same,

Figure 3y is an insidejview of the sectional lever Similar letters of'parts.

` A is the window-sill. p 4 l v B represents thewindow-blind or shutter.

, C isa fastening-hook, `which is pivoted `to `the sectional t-ubularpiece D, as seen in tig. 2.

This piece I) is made in two parts, with a hole in each for receivingthe pivots of the hook. The 'pivreference indicate 'corresponding Eisthe tast-1eningcatch,`whichis pivoted to 'thctulbnlar pieceF, whiclrpiece F isl made in halves with ilanges, G, which allows it tobefastened to the top.

The catchE, when raised, drops by its own gravity,

and catches the hook when the blind is closed, as seen in. g. 2. H isthe detaching lever. This lever is pivoted in the tnbnlar piece I, whichis inserted in, and attached to, the inner edge of the window-sill A.

` It will be seen that the pivot J of this leve` forms its i'nlcrum.

The long end of the lever passes in nnder the cate-l1 v E, and its shortend` extends to the inner edgeof the -.sill or casing, so far that itmay be readily depressed or operated'inside of the room.

As seen in iig. 1, the blind is securely fastened, and

it ca n he nnf'astened only by raising the catch E, and i this can bedone only by depressing the short end' of the lever, and thereby raisingit.

The tubular piece I, to whi h the 'lever is pivoted, is made in twoparts, each part having apivot-hole, as seen in fig. 2.

` The face of the piece I is seen in fig. 3; the surrounding il. ngeallows it to he securely fastened to the inner casing of the window.

By this arrangement the wimiow-blind or shutter is entirely protected,and dwellings rendered secure from the depredations of bnrglars.

Having thns described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters
